The "Last Week Tonight" host lambasted the president's wrong message about violence against pro-democracy demonstrators.
Violence against Hong Kong protesters got “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver thinking ― about President Donald Trump.
The HBO comedian chided the U.S. leader for barely knowing what’s going on in Hong Kong and for Trump’s recent comment that “they don’t need advice.” Oliver showed a clip in which Trump alluded to someone’s remark that China is “gonna wanna stop” the “rioting” ― “but that’s between Hong Kong and that’s between China because Hong Kong is a part of China.”
Protests have been ongoing over what is perceived as China’s encroachment on liberties in the semiautonomous city, beginning with a proposal to extradite Hong Kong citizens to the mainland.
